Answer 2

Answer:B

Explanation: Punnet sqaures are used to find the ratio between possible genotypes(possible allele combinations) in a cross; whether a trait is passed to offspring depends on it's genotype resultant from the cross, and the dominant/recessive relationship between the alleles. (cross=mating event, genotype= genetic makeup)
